“Alright,” Ye Qianqian acquiesced. “Remember to call me when you’re here.”

“OK,” Ye Youyou said.

Ye Qianqian had just disconnected the call when a voice came from behind her. “How dare you answer a personal call during office hours! Your pay will be docked!”

The tone was stern and sounded unyielding.

Ye Qianqian jumped out of her skin. When she turned around, she was met with a laughing face that looked neither accusatory nor unhappy.

With short hair up to her shoulders and her facial features in symmetry, the individual was none other than Yu Lili.

Ye Qianqian gave a sigh of relief and rushed up to smack her hard on the hand. “You scared me to death!”

Yu Lili began laughing in earnest and sidestepped her as she replied, “The wicked flee when no one pursues. You wouldn’t be scared if you didn’t do anything to be guilty about! But, is your sister coming to Kingstown? Didn’t she injure her hand? Has she recovered?”

Ye Qianqian didn’t know much either. All she knew was that Ye Youyou had been discharged from the hospital. She gave Yu Lili a quick rundown of the situation. As she looked at Yu Lili’s rosy and glowing face, she suddenly said, “Hey, you! I thought you and Ou Ming had broken up for real. I never expected you to suddenly become my boss’ wife, and it’s the big boss’ wife, at that! I... I’m so envious!”

Yu Lili held her hand and laughed. “Don’t be envious. Come, your boss’ wife is going to treat you to tea!”

“I have to get back to work,” Ye Qianqian said.

“It’s fine. We just have to give them a heads-up.” Yu Lili held her hand and walked in. She said a few words to the manager, and both of them walked out of the office amidst all the envious gazes.

Because of the facial recognition system in the company, everyone had learned overnight that Yu Lili had become the Madam of the company. It had become the hottest topic in the office. But, Yu Lili and Ye Qianqian were unaware of it. They went to the café they often patronized and ordered some snacks.

Yu Lili sat and looked at Ye Qianqian somberly as she asked, “Hey, are we good friends?”

Ye Qianqian was surprised by the serious tone of her question. After looking at her for a long moment, she hesitantly replied, “Did you commit an offense?”

“Am I that sort of person?” Yu Lili asked.

“Yes!” Ye Qianqian nodded her head firmly.

Yu Lili was rendered speechless when she saw how solemn Ye Qianqian looked. She reached into her purse, fished out a pink envelope, and handed it over to Ye Qianqian as she asked, “I did commit to something. I committed to love. I’m here today to pass you my wedding invitation. Will you attend my love declaration?”

Ye Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat as she took the pink envelope. She couldn’t hold back her smile as she opened the envelope. Taking the invitation out, she said, “You’re really getting married? I’ll go! Didn’t you tell me that it wouldn’t be so soon? How did you change your mind so suddenly?”

“Well... My father-in-law said that it’s too troublesome having to introduce me to others all day,” Yu Lili said. “A wedding would take care of the introductions to everyone once and for all.”

Ye Qianqian couldn’t help giving the father-in-law her stamp of approval. “Your father-in-law is awesome! Didn’t you say that your mother-in-law doesn’t like you? How’s that working out now?”

Yu Lili smiled when she thought of Jiao Ziqing. “She’s actually a paper tiger. When you get to know her, she’s actually quite cute.”

Ye Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. “That’s great to hear. Congratulations!”

“But, Qianqian, there’s still one more thing that I’m not sure if I should mention to my mother-in-law,” Yu Lili said.

“What is that?” Ye Qianqian asked.

“Ou Ming took me in for a check-up a few days ago,” Yu Lili said. “The doctor said I could have trouble conceiving...”
